Almost 25 years ago, David Girard founded Girard Sound Associates to provide high quality audio services in the DC metro area. Initially David worked only as a sound recordist, but soon expanded his services to encompass recording and sound reinforcement for conferences and events. In later years, Girard Sound Associates further broadened its offerings to include audio editing, forensic audio and audio measurement. In all these areas, we have developed a set of best practices, and use an excellent and expanding set of tools, to produce the highest quality work products. In all cases we record "clean tracks" -- the best audio possible in the situation.
